光影無界：致攝影的創意靈魂
Albert Young 楊少銓: 攝影之於我，從不只是記錄，而是一場與想像力的對話。在這個影像過剩的時代，真正的匱乏並非畫面，而是獨特的思維。攝影藝術，在慣常的視線中日益扁平，唯有創意，能讓它重新立體、豐饒，並真正屬於看見它的人。我始終相信，攝影的魔力不在於複製現實，而在於創造一個嶄新的世界。
創意攝影，在我而言，是掙脫「所見即所得」的勇敢嘗試。它始於對規則的透徹理解，終於對規則的溫柔逾越。它始於觀看，卻不止於看見。它邀請我們調度色彩、形構、氛圍乃至一絲違和感，將鏡頭轉向內心風景，那裡有我夢里的質地、記憶的溫度，或一個尚未命名的情感瞬間。技術是重要的根基，但創意，才是讓影像呼吸的靈魂。
這本攝影集，收錄了我近年探索創意女像的足跡，令我心跳怦然的節點。每一幅作品，都是一次對慣常視角的叛離，一次對光影、形態與情緒的重新編碼。我試圖捕捉的，是神韻的靈光、是氛圍的詩意、是超越表象的個人敘事。有時藉由肢體的寓言，有時透過光影的私語，目的始終是叩問：我們能否看見得更深、更真實？
謹以此集，誠摯邀請每一位觀者與影友，一同躍出舒適的邊界。願這些影像能成為一粒種子，激盪起些許靈感的漣漪。真正的創意，永遠生發於勇敢的實驗與無盡的好奇。讓我們共同守護那簇內心的光，在快門開合之間，擁抱影像的無限，也是澎湃的想像力開始飛翔之時。期待與所有熱愛影像的同好共勉：讓我們以鏡頭為眼，以創意為翼，在無垠的視覺宇宙中，繼續造夢。一同掙脫技術與觀念的束縛，回歸觀看最原始的悸動。
也謹以此集，纪念摯友李秀恆博士，因他曾伴我一起追光。
Light and Shadow Without Borders: To the Creative Soul of Photography
To me, photography has never been merely recording, it is a conversation with imagination. In this age of image overabundance, the true scarcity is not of pictures but of distinctive thinking. Photographic art has flattened within habitual ways of seeing, only creativity can restore its three-dimensionality and richness, allowing it to truly resonate with those who behold it. I have always believed that photography’s magic lies not in copying reality but in creating a brand‑new world.
Creative photography, for me, is a brave attempt to break free from “what you see is what you get.” It begins with a thorough understanding of the rules and ends with their gentle transgression. It begins with looking but does not stop at seeing. It invites us to orchestrate color, form, atmosphere, and even a hint of dissonance, turning the lens toward the landscape within — the textures of dreams, the warmth of memory, or an unnamed emotional instant. Technique is an important foundation, but creativity is the soul that lets an image breathe.
This photobook showcases my recent explorations in creative portraiture of ladies — the moments that made my heart race. Each piece is an act of rebellion against customary perspectives, a re‑coding of light and shadow, shape and feeling. What I try to capture is the spark of expression, the poetry of atmosphere, a personal narrative that goes beyond surface.
Sometimes through the allegory of the body, sometimes through the whispers of light and shadow, the aim is always to ask: can we see more deeply, more truly?
With this collection I sincerely invite every viewer and fellow photographer to leap beyond the comfort of familiar boundaries. May these images become a seed that stirs ripples of inspiration. True creativity always springs from courageous experiment and endless curiosity. Let us together nurture that inner light; between shutter open and shutter close, embrace the boundless potential of the image, letting imagination take wing. I invite all who love images to join me in using the lens as an eye and creativity as our wings, to continue dream in this boundless visual universe.
Let us together break free from the shackles of technique and dogma, and return to the primal thrill of seeing.
This collection is also dedicated in memory of my dear friend Dr. Eddy Li Sau Hung, who once accompanied me in chasing the light.
